Quite refreshing in this day and age

An eclectic collection of old tales, a moral in many and dry humour which one imagines generations gone did appreciate. Sometimes it’s good to have a group of small stories than one long one. Fitted the bill for me anyway..

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
